Portfolio & software studio

Investment systems, built with care.

Soju Club Studios is a new studio pairing investment thinking with engineering practice — designing portfolios and building the software that runs them. We are taking on a small number of foundational engagements as we grow.

What we do

Two practices, one team.

We blend portfolio thinking with engineering practice so strategy and tooling stay aligned. Every engagement — whether a focused review or a long build-and-operate partnership — runs on the same disciplined process.

Portfolio advisory

Strategic asset allocation, manager selection, and risk frameworks tailored to your mandate and constraints.

  • Investment policy & SAA
  • Manager & fund due diligence
  • Risk & scenario analysis

Software & data

Pragmatic systems for research, operations, and reporting — from spreadsheet replacement to production-grade platforms.

  • Research & backtesting stack
  • Portfolio & performance reporting
  • Data pipelines & vendor integration

Operating partner

Hands-on support for boutique managers and founder-led firms that want senior judgement without hiring a full team.

  • Fractional CIO / CTO engagements
  • Quarterly reviews & governance
  • Build, operate, transfer

What we’re building

Software for the way modern businesses run.

Alongside our advisory work, we are developing a suite of products that share a single backbone — each module is designed to work with the others. Strata and Deductly lead the suite; six further modules are on the active roadmap.

Modeling In active development

Strata

Model your full financial picture — every entity, in one place.

A desktop-style modeling environment for households and firms that juggle multiple entities — businesses, rentals, partnerships, and personal accounts. Build linked sheets the way you would in a spreadsheet, and watch outcomes update as assumptions change. Data stays on your machine.

  • Linked sheets with formulas, cross-sheet references, and reusable variables
  • Roll up businesses, rentals, and personal accounts into a single household view
  • Side-by-side what-if scenarios across entities and jurisdictions
AI · Intelligence In active development

Deductly

Turn the content you already make into the expense intelligence your business deserves.

Deductly uses AI to scan content across social media, cloud storage, and messaging — receipts, meals, mileage, gear, travel — and turns it into substantiated, audit-ready records your accountants and operators can actually use.

  • Auto-classifies posts, photos, and receipts
  • Generates a documented evidence trail per claim
  • Exports cleanly to your accounting platform of choice

Also on the roadmap

Six further modules planned around the same backbone. Each is designed to integrate with the rest of the suite so operational decisions are visible across the stack in real time.

Warehouse & inventory

Pallet

Stock ledger, multi-location tracking, audit trail, and reorder logic for teams that move physical goods.

On roadmap

Point of sale

Tender

An AI-assisted checkout experience that surfaces the right information at the moment of sale, not at month-end.

On roadmap

Payroll & compensation

Cadence

Withholding, multi-jurisdiction handling, and year-end reconciliation wired into the rest of your operations.

On roadmap

Project management

Cairn

Task tracking, cost allocation, and a clean time-to-billing pipeline for service teams of every size.

On roadmap

R&D operations

Forge

Project tracking, expense classification, and the documentation trail auditors and grant committees expect.

On roadmap

International operations

Mariner

Cross-border compliance, treaty handling, and FX-aware operations for teams that span jurisdictions.

On roadmap

How we work

Considered, transparent, hands-on.

Every engagement starts with listening. We agree on what success looks like, then move in short, reviewable stages so you stay in control of scope and cost.

  1. 01

    Discover

    Stakeholder interviews, portfolio & systems audit, gap analysis.

  2. 02

    Design

    Target operating model, allocation framework, technical architecture.

  3. 03

    Deliver

    Implementation in milestones — portfolio changes, software releases, training.

  4. 04

    Steward

    Ongoing reviews, monitoring, and second-pair-of-eyes on big decisions.

About

A small firm of investors and engineers.

Soju Club Studios was founded by a team that grew tired of watching investment groups forced to choose between strategy advice and technology delivery. We believe the two are inseparable — and we hire for both.

Our practice brings together experience across portfolio management, fintech, and software engineering. We hold ourselves to fiduciary standards even where we are not legally required to, and we work in long relationships rather than one-off projects.
